A Dream Requires Tiny Beautiful Gestures

12/17/2015

Beverly Clear y once said, “If you don’t see the book you want on the shelves, write it.” I think I’ve read everything in existence about horses, cowboys and romance. However, I couldn’t find a cowboy romance written about the western pleasure discipline. I wanted to read a love story themed around the type of horse shows I enjoyed competing in.

I‘d always dreamed of being an author so I decided to heed Beverly Cleary’s advice and take a stab at writing the book that I wanted to see on the shelf. I worked for years putting my thoughts to paper. There were many highs and lows in the process, insecurities and doubts, but mustering the courage to continually move forward in pursuit of this dream of mine is what makes me most proud.

I LOVE music! I just can't write without it. I repeated these 5 country music songs over and over while working on In the Reins. These songs (and their videos) will make a lady's toes curl in her cowgirl boots. They certainly made my spurs jingle and helped fuel my imagination as I developed McKennon and Devon's story. Don't delay! Say "Howdy Cowboy" to these country tunes and get ready to make your spurs happy too!

1. Sangria - Blake Shelton

Definitely a spur jingler! This song gets the top spot because the video is straight up HOT!
